WELL-TILING- AND MOLD THEREFOR.

To all 'whom t may 'concer/n.'

Be it known that I, WILLIAM MACH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Tabor, in thecounty of Bonhomme, State of South Dakota, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Well-Filing and MoldsTherefor; and I do hereby ded tioning of the sections one upon theother.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in thedetails of construction and in the arrangement and combination of partsto be hereinafter `more fully described and particularly pointed out inthe appended claims.

In describing t-he invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denotecorresponding `parts in the several views, and in which- Figure 1 is aview in elevation of a mold utilized to construct the sections of thetiling, Fig. 2, a vertical section of the mold illustrated in Fig. 1,Fig. 3, a section on the line 3-*3 of Fig. 1, Fig. 4, a view inelevation of the inner side section of the mold, same being partlybroken away, Fig. 5, a vertical section through one of the tile sectionsproduced by the mold, Fig. 6, a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5, Fig.7, a view showing the manner of applying the tile sections to a well,said tile sections being shown in vertical sections, and Fig. 8, asection on the line 8 8 of Fig. 7 on an enlarged scale,

Referring to the drawings the mold is shown as comprising a bottom 10having a central dished portion 11, said dished portion having acircular outline. Formed in the bottom of the dished portion 11 is acircular groove 12, while another circular groove 13 is formed 'in theupper face of the Specification of Letters Patent.

bodyjust `outward of the dished portion 11 and disposed concentricallywith the groove 12. These grooves 12 and 13 form seats respectively forinner and outer side sections 14 and 15 respectively of the mold. Theinner' side section 14 is constructed of a thin sheet of metal ofsutlicientpliability to permit same to be contracted from its normalposition for the purpose of removing' same after t-he molding of thetile sec-` tion has been completed. Then the inner side sect-ion 14 isseated .in the groove 12 the ends of said section are secured togetherby means of suitable catches 16. The outer side section `15 is alsoconstructed of a thin sheet of metal of suiiicient pliability to permitthe ends thereof to be moved away from each other a suiiicient distanceto allow for the removal of said `side sect-ion from the completed tilesection. This outer sid-e section 15- has pressed in its inner face atthe top and=bottom thereof respectively circum- `scribing grooves 17-and 18. Formed in the side section 15 in the plane of the groove 17 is aplurality of openings l19. These openings 19 at the top and bottomrespectively of `the outer side-sections are arranged in verticallyalined pairs with the vertical plane of the other pair. y The outer side`sect-ion l5 is further provided with a. plurality yof openings 20 inthe plane of the groove 18 and are disposed in a manner similar to theopenings 19. Surrounding each of the openings 19 is an inwardly directediiange 21, while similar inwardly directed flanges 22 surround each ofthe openings 20. The ends of the sections 15 are detachably securedtogether by means of suitable catches 23.

Hinged to the upper end of the section 15 is the top member of the mold24. This top member is provided centrally with a boss 25 l of a shapethat would permit same to snugly been reviously operated to lockingposition. he material for the tile section, indisection so as to readilyreceive in an inter- .y

ittingmanner the lower end of an adjacent section. While the material ofthe tile sec-k tion 29 is in a plastic state staples 30 are insertedthrough the' openings 19 and 2() into the plastic material so that theoutermost portion of said staples will be posi-V tioned in registrationsubstantially with the innermost portions of respective grooves 17 and18, After the material from which the tile section is made hassolidified the catches 16 and 23 are released and the sections 14 and 15removed from the completed tile section, as is likewise the bottom 10. Y

In applying the tile sections to the bore of a' Well suitable guideWires 31 are passed through alining staples 30 of the bottom sectionsand then positively secured to the latter at its lower end. The sectionof the tile is then lowered toits seat upon the bottom vof the well` Theguide wires 31 are then passed through alining staples 30 of the nexttile section and the latter then lowered under the guidance of saidwires 31 to its proper position upon the tile section grooves 17 and 18the tile sections will be` formed, with circumsoribing ribs 32 whichserve to protect the staples 30 from engagement with the wall of thewell during the y lowering of the tile section.

What is claimed isz' ,l

l., A Welltile mold comprising a bottom provided with concentricallyarranged vcircular grooves, longitudinally split inner and outercylindrical side sections removably seated in said grooves respectively,locking means for 'detachably securing the longitudinal edges of saidside sections together, said outer side section having continuouscircular grooves formed in its inner face adjacent its top and bottomrespectivelyk and openings therethrough in the planes of' respectivegrooves, the openings at the upper ends of said outer side sectionalining with corresponding openings at the lower ends thereofrespectively, and a top member for said mold hinged to said outer sidesection.

2. A well tile vmold comprising a bottom provided with concentric-allyarranged 'circular grooves, longitudinally split inner and outercylindrical side sections removably seated in said grooves respectively,locking means for detachably securing the longitudinal edges of saidside sections together, said outer side sec-tion having continuouscircular grooves formed in its inner face adjacent its top and bottomrespectively and `further openings therethrough in the planes of saidgrooves respectively, the openings at the upper ends of said outer sidesections alining with corresponding openings at the lower ends thereofrespectively, inwardly directed flanges surrounding each of saidopenings, and a top member for said mold hinged to said outer sidesection.

In testimony whereof, I ailix my signa- ;ture, in presence of twowitnesses.
